Covering Bridgend
We cover Bridgend and the postcode districts CF31, CF35. The same team covers Porthcawl (6 miles), Maesteg (8 miles), Tonypandy (10 miles), Rhondda (12 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the South Glamorgan border, Cowbridge is about 6 miles away. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Do I need planning permission in Bridgend?
In Wales a wraparound must satisfy both the rear and side extension limits to be permitted development, so most need a planning application to the council.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Wraparound extension questions answered
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Bridgend?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Bridgend?
Yes. We cover Bridgend and the surrounding parts of Mid Glamorgan. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bridgend?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
Will I need to move a drain?
Often. Side returns frequently contain a manhole or a shared drain. Building near or over a public sewer needs the water company’s consent in England and Wales, which we arrange.
